Welcome back to the Tech for Good Live podcast where we talk about technology for good, live.

In this episode we talk about bias, privilege, and how rhetoric can take hold of our beliefs even when they can be clearly proven wrong. I know that is a shocker for everyone. And that’s why you listen to this podcast.

We also discuss exciting developments in the virtual reality space and how it is being applied to medical science.

Hera Hussain is our host and she is joined by fellow TFGL team members Greg Ashton and Paul Jakubowski

Our special guest this week is Graeme Heyes, researcher in sustainable design innovation and facilitator of sustainable design sprints with a PhD in sustainable business model design and environmental management.

We’d love it if you gave us a nice iTunes review and told your pals about this podcast!

Thanks to podcast.co for hosting our podcast.

Also, please don't forget this podcast is run by volunteers and we survive on sponsorships and donations. Right now one of our primary goals is to make sure all of our podcast episodes are accessible by making sure EVERY episode is transcribed. Sadly this costs money and we desperately need your help to make this become a reality! So if you've ever tuned into one of our podcasts or attended one of our events please consider chipping in the price of a cup of coffee.
